This Is The Good And Bad About Pushchair
Choosing a Double pushchair twin [bookmarkcork.com explained in a blog post]
If you have twins you need a double pushchair to take them from A to B. Our range includes twin prams and buggies that are able to be set up in different ways to suit your requirements.
Look for a pushchair that folds in one step and is easy to put into your boot. You may also want an ultra-light design that is easy to maneuver and navigate especially when you have busy streets to tackle.
Side-by-Side
They are the most commonly used type of double foldable pushchair, and usually can accommodate two children together. They're generally bigger than single pushchairs. This can make them less maneuverable on paths. It may also be difficult to maneuver through kerbs with a car seat is attached. The extra size allows them to move more easily through doors and also more evenly distributed so that it is easier to carry around on your back.
They can be used as twin best prams from the beginning and a lot of models can accommodate a carrycot or two car seats. Some models can be converted into one-mode with the basket (like the Cybex Venus).
One of the most excellent examples of this is the Bugaboo Donkey 5 which, in Twin Mode, allows you to place the rear seat and carrycot side-by-side. This creates a totally enclosed space for twins and is perfect for infants. The pram set is also equipped with a couple of really cool accessories, including newborn cocoons which can be put on face either direction (for twin-facing prams) or baby Accessories facing forwards (for a normal single). It's not as light as some other options, but it's extremely well-thought out.
Lightweight
Cybex is known for its nifty pushchairs and the single-to-double is no exception. Its clever frame expands widthways to take two seats, and you can use it as a twin from birth, thanks to the addition of two infant cocoons (PS59 each) which create enclosed lie-flat spaces for babies. It can also be used in an individual mode with only one child thanks to a large basket that is placed behind the seat. It comes with front and rear suspension that allows it to handle bumps and uneven surfaces more easily. A top pick from our reviewers.
Available in a range of stylish colors.
Tandem
If you're planning to have twins, you need a tandem pushchair that permits the children to be seated close to each other so that they can look at each one another. They are great for trips to the zoo, as children can observe the animals together. They're also ideal for parents who have to keep an eye on their toddler and the other eye on their infant because they can see both of them at the same time.
Some tandem pushchairs are very flexible, as they can be converted to single mode. This is particularly useful for families with more than two children (or if your eldest child does not require the buggy anymore). This will prevent you from having to store a buggy empty, which can be expensive.
The Cybex Venus, for example is a model that can be used in double or mono mode. The frame can be expanded to accommodate an additional seat. This isn't the lightest of pushchairs, but it offers a large basket for shopping that is placed behind the front seat when in double mode (and behind the seat when it's mono mode). The seats can be positioned to face each other or one can be positioned higher up so it can look over the other and see what they are doing.
Other double tandem pushchairs like the Joolz Geo 3 can seat one on top of the other or side-by-side. The compact, sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver through doorways and aisles in supermarkets. Some models can be used on uneven terrain, or for a jogging walk thanks to their large rear wheels and four-wheel suspension.
Another benefit of a tandem pushchair is that it can often include two carrycots, or a car seat and buggy seat. This allows you to create a travel system right from the beginning and save money on additional purchases. It's important to keep in mind that tandems are heavier and longer than single pushchairs, and are less stable when in bumping into kerbs or over uneven surfaces. These pushchairs must also be dismantled in order to fit into cars.
